Any way to treat Western & Southern?

It is ludicrous that the city government has kicked, hit and beaten Western & Southern. This is a company that has given millions to the city and causes each year, for many years. There would be no Lytle Park without them.

Now is the time to stop the twisted logic and lies and let W&S use the Anna Louise Inn property for its highest and best use. The Inn was designed to provide safe housing for single women coming to work in Cincinnati. Cincinnati Union Bethel has morphed its mission into a place for prostitutes and their families to reside while they attempt to leave the streets, which is not permissible under the current zoning for the location.

The obvious solution is to construct a new facility in a new area that permits CUB's new mission and allows W&S to develop a paying asset for that end of Fourth Street.

Veterans helped
by special court

I would like to extend my thanks to Judge Melissa Powers and Judge Ethna Cooper for their work with helping veterans ("Special court assists veterans" March 24). The compassion and understanding of these two judges is a great tribute to their ability to see the damage war has caused to returning veterans who now need some direction transitioning to society.

Kieran Carroll, who returned from Iraq, a Purple Heart recipient and the first graduate of the Veterans Treatment Court, summed up the success of the program with his quote: "I know I've got support. I just feel like I've got a family now." Great job!

Daughter a victim
of fen-phen use

My vivacious, fun-loving daughter, Mindy Nagle-Pamer, died September 2007 of a heart attack at 53 years of age, devastating her only son, family and friends.

She had been diagnosed with heart damage from using fen-phen for years.

She received almost nothing, thanks to the greedy attorneys. None of them should ever practice law again. All should serve time. And regarding "Chesley disbarred by Ky. court" (March 21), Mindy would be pleased.
